In panchal
The panchal naresh was chanting mantras in front of holy fire with rishi yaaj and upyaaj he had offered his kavach sword and blood to the holy fire
The fire reached high and a dazzling youth claded in armour came out of the holy fire Agni dev came and blessed him that ' Agni would not harm but strengthen his power' and named him 'dhrishtadhyun'
Draupad was ecstatic from his birth dhrishtdyumn took his blessings and they started to leave thinking the yagya is finished
Just then the height of fire increased drastically " the gods want to bless you with a daughter please make your offering maharaj" draupad listened to the rishi and made the the sacrifice of vermillion blue lotus and his blood
Blue lotus fragrance filled the air and the world's most beautiful woman stepped out of the holy fire her dark skin glistening as she made her way to her father
Draupad still happy that the child will bring good fortune to them accepted his daughter whole heartdly
Vasudev krishna came forward too introducing himself to panchali

"Hey kids sorry let me use these for a minute " he said and rolled the marbles on the street the theif who was running sleeped on them and fell Karn quickly took the bag then the girl he saw before came too
"Thank.. you.." she said panting the thief attempted to run away but the people caught him "your welcome" Karn said the girl now looked up she started at him for a moment before exclaiming "Radheya..?" Karn quickly cowered her mouth and he too realized who she was
"Shh..vrushali don't scream..! " Karn wisper yelled She nodded and Karn sighed removing his hand " how are you?" He said " I am fine how are you Radheya ? " She replied "I am fine too I came to meet you and Radha ma after gurukul but you were not there?" He asked " oh that I went to my friend s wedding that's why" she said
They talked to each other for quite awhile their chatting was intrupted when nakula came " bhratha it's time to return "
